Video: Students Become 'Makers' of Their DIY Destiny
The Peninsula Sunrise Rotary Club of Redwood City encourage students to be part of the DIY movement at last week's Maker Faire.
Some students were excited for the food, some for the art. But whatever their attraction was, students from , , and McKinley joined the Peninsula Sunrise Rotary Club and the Salvation Army to attend the Maker Faire on Saturday, May 19.
Maker Faire is a two day DIY event attended by an estimate 50,000 to 95,000 people at the San Mateo Event Center in San Mateo. Teachers were asked to select students they thought would benefit by attending of the most innovative, creative and thought provoking event that annually comes to the peninsula area.
They explored exhibits that included robots, electric cars, fire breathing dragons and sculptures. The students also played with static and virtual worlds, and learned to solder by making LED Makers Faire pins.
